Your symptoms are consistent with reflux. The good news is that you have already identified foods that are triggering the problem. Avoiding these foods is the fastest and probably best way to "treat" the problem. Alternately, some people will use anti-acids when they know they are eating something that will cause a problem. Often times they use these in advance to help settle the stomach before it gets bad.

There are also some preventive things you can try to help your symptoms such as eating smaller amounts, etc. I know that I can't eat pizza, but I can have a bite or two of my kids' pizza which generally satisfies the craving without causing the pain.

Anyone who's ever had an asthma attack knows about the chest tightness and why it occurs. Yet what about the chest soreness that occurs the next day? Why does asthma causes chest pain?
The interesting thing to note here is there are no pain receptors in your lungs!!! The reason asthma causes pain is because asthma causes you to breathe the wrong way.
Confused? Allow me to explain with a pithy lesson on how we breathe. (To learn why we breathe click here )
Breathing is the process of moving air into and out of the lungs. Breathing is one of the few bodily functions that can be done either consciously (you control it) or unconsciously (without thinking of it). Unconscious breathing : Most of the time you don't think about breathing, yet you continue to do it. This is an important safety net for life, because if we had to think about breathing 24-7 we'd accomplish little and most life would cease to exist. Air goes into your...
